We have more of n direct effect on what happens and are more directly involved,'' Slichter said "I like knowing what 1s gomg on around campus and having my opinion h(nrd; whether it is acted upon is questionable, but at least I have the chance to vocalize it in a formal selling where it isn't ignored." The officers are involved in setting some campus policies. They become more aware of what is going on in the state as far a, students go. such a~ the Idaho Student Lobby. she said.

The 1wo ins1ructors are finding out wha1 it is like 10 be a s1uden1again, Leahy said. "You gain an unders1anding of wha1 1he students arc doing.'' Leahy said. Jerde found 1h01 1he class was "kind of overwhelming and intimidn1ing." AccordinJ 10 Leahy and Jerde, paired classes will be offered, hopefully. by the spring of 1993. S1uden1s will inke a core

"The study class would follow their core class 10 immediately apply the study skills." According 10 Kris Wold. in)tructor/vicc chair of the Learning Assistance Ccn1er and Adult Basic Educn1io n ch rector, research shows that when pairing clas5es. 1wo 1Jlings happen. First, students in paired classes have higher grades. and second. pairing classes brings the re1cn1ion rate down.

MOODY from Page 11 - - - - - During his discussion. Moody noted another doctor's study on suicide experiences. Seemingly all of the people who tried 10 commi1 suicide 1hu1 hod near-death experiences have not auempted suicide again and posseis n deeper npprcciution for Ii fc itself. "Their experience reveals 10 them 1hm life is a very precious gift ond lhnt we are here 10 work on ccnain problem~ and so on. nnd it doc~n't work to try to get out of it thnt way. Whatever problems we have. ,vc've got to work through," Moody ~nid. Scientilically studying near-death e~pcricnces is quite difficult, according to Moody. Unlike the movie "Fl111liners," ~cien1is1s con'1 volunmri ly kill a person. then rc,·ive them and ~1udy the effec ts. he said. ScientisL, hn,·c. however. de,•clopcd n wuy 10 study one srngc or the ncar-dcmh cxpcri-

cncc, he said. Scien1is1s have been able to recreate three-dimensional apparitions of deceased persons. Of the average citizens 1es1ed. hair of 1h~m have hnd visions. experienced communication with them. are convinced of the reality of the apparition~ and continue 10 sec the apparitions after they leave lhc lab. Moody said. '"As mnny a~ 66 pcrcem of widow, will. within o short period of 1imc 3(1cr the death of their husband,, sec an nppuri1ion or have un experience which Lhey regard pcr,onolly 10 be a contact with their depaned hu,band,'' Moodysoid.

NClw I find lhal )Cl another alleged fitness evaluation i~ in store for me. and even by ,training the ou1crmos1 connorn, uoM of the concept of ren~oning, I can find no cloak of lot?ic in which 10 garb this schol~uc rcdundancy. The 1es110 which I refer is the so-called English competency e~am. The 1es1 is in foci a strJngt anomaly, since nil olhcr disciplines at NlC quite rightly assume that fitness lo ascend 10 a hig.her level of study is de1ermined by a student's performance in a lower level class. The very existence of the competency exam s:iys 1h01this widely accepted. common-sense method is nawed. The inswctors of English I 03 are deemed unqualified to decide whether their students can proceed successfully lo English 1().1. Evidently, it is believed that n panel of judges. measuring n single variable on a specific day. are more capable of balanced judgement than o teacher who has interacted with. observed and monitored n student's progre~s. How can it be proposed thnt this single lest is as valid o meru.urc of competence as n full seme~tcr's work is an enigma most perplexing. Hnving ~pent 16 weeks panlQipa1ing in class. absorbing lcs,ons. completing assignments, composing six formul essays. enduring tests and quizus. nnd di~playing an honest desire and willingnes.~ to learn, I nm exceedingly hard pressed 10 comprehend why it i~ I should now be required to perform like a trained seal in order 10 have my capabilities "officially" v,ilidated. I am a student. not a gladiator who must toil under duress for the satisfaction of others. 1have come here 10 learn tind ncc~pt that evaluntions are u nccessOI)', though an uncomfonable part of an organi,ed education. Becau~ we nre without choice. mo~t will submit to this degrading and unju\l prnctice. ll is clear to me tha1 this competency exam should be climinmed from the cducotionaJ procc~s at NIC. Its abolition will benefit 1cnchcrs. students and the cnure venture of learning. Micheal Howard.
